Give Me More

From Lala’s Book ReviewsLike all of the other books in the Salacious Players Club, Give Me More is a hot, quick read.Give Me More follows Hunter, Isabel, and Drake as they have a roadtrip traveling to different clubs to get ideas for their own on how to expand. Hunter and Isabel are married and have been together for over a decade with Drake always being included in their adventures despite him never being physical with either of them. Although him and Hunter have been friends longer than either of them can remember when Drake’s mom would bring home a different man or when Hunter’s father would hurt him.Throughout the trip, Hunter decides to let his wide side have its moment and he wants to watch his best friend sleep with his wife, but little does he know that there are some simmering feelings between Drake and Isabel, but Drake is hesitant to give into his desires because he doesn’t want to ruin his relationship by overstepping a line with Isabel even if she wants it as much as he does. Hunter doesn’t expect to have blossoming feels towards his best friend Drake which causes a riff between the growing dynamic between the three of them that comes to a head when they get back home.Hunter and Drake both grew up in a rough neighborhood and lifestyle, so when they had met Isabel, Hunter felt like he had to change into someone who was worthy of being her husband despite her loving him for himself. But with the emotional and physical abuse of his father, Hunter has a hard time expressing his feelings which makes it difficult for him to comes to terms with his hidden feelings for Drake.I would like to say that this book is all about Drake given that he’s the one who has been the most controversial in prominent in the others books given that he’s the biggest playboy and flirt, and don’t get me wrong, we get to see the side of Drake that is under that flirty nature and see the man how worries about loosing his best friends or gaining a future that he never thought could be his. But, we also have Hunter who has tot relive and work through years of trauma that his father inflicted that had caused Hunter to have a one track mind when it comes to love.I’d have to say that this was the easiest book to read because although all of the books in this series have a happily ever after, but for some reason, it was easier for me to see the HEA from the beginning just because all three of these characters had a connection, it was just about some self discovery and truth that had to come out along the way.

Drake and Hunter grew up together and they both had a very tough youth. Hunter is also co owner of a sex club with Emerson, Garret and Maggie. His dad drilled into him that anything outside society norms is wrong. That means very thing from interracial relationships, sexuality, to the beliefs that the women was to serve the man was just wrong and not allowed. If he didn’t think something was right he would be very verbal and physically abusive towards Hunter and his mom.Drake didn’t know his dad and his mom had a revolving door of men throughout his youth. He never saw himself settling down with just one person. He was called a man whore and he lived up to that reputation. He didn’t care the sex of the person he was sleeping with as long as he was having sex and the number of people didn’t matter either.Isabel’s parent had her later in life and she often forgotten in the sense of she was on her own from a young age but was never did without. This made her a loner and book worm.Hunter met and fell in love with Isabel when they were teenager. He knew he needed to change his ways and become the man he thinks she deserves. He married her and everything was fine. Drake was always there. He was in their wedding, went on vacations, lived with them from time to time and Hunter even helped Drake get his contractor license.It was ten years later when the three of them went and toured different sex clubs across the US to get ideas for theirs. This is when Hunter ask Drake and Isabel something that they may never come back from.Sara did it again. I couldn’t put this book down and was up until after 3:00 am reading it.

The tension is everything! I couldn’t read this book fast enough; this is by far my favorite book ever.I love a good MMF story with tension and longing between the M/M because it makes it even more interesting when they are doing something they think they shouldn’t be doing. It feels forbidden and exciting when the males who’ve loved each other for years look at each other longingly. Drake is a bi-sexual male who is best friends with Isabel and Hunter, who are married. The three are scoping out other clubs to bring back exciting new things to their club Salacious.You can feel the love and understanding Hunter and Isabel have for each other, but when they are with Drake something just snaps into place with the three of them. On their trip across the states, they engage in extra special fun with each other, but lines get blurred when they take it one step further, and Drake gets to be apart of Hunter and Isabel’s relationship. Hunter must deal with feelings from his past that make him question his sexuality and find out where Drake fits into everything. There’s no denying that the three are perfect for each other!Some of my favorite quotes: “We’ve always been best friends, but maybe that’s what best friends are—soul mates in disguise.” “it’s about so much more than sex. It’s about us, like she said. Our bodies connecting because our souls are aching for it.” “Maybe the reason my marriage is so sacred to you is because you’ve always been a part of it. And maybe what I’m asking you isn’t so crazy, after all.”Memorable Moments:• The Dark room with Hunter and Drake,• When Isabel gets tied up• When Hunter finally gives in to Drake and Naughty little Isabel is listening on the other side.Rating: 5/5Spice: 3/5Tropes: MMF, throuple, BDSM/Bondage, friends to lovers, forced proximity

4.5🌟I really enjoyed this book, it wasn't as spicey as I thought it would be, but it was top quality as always from Sara. In all seriousness, this is the BEST MMF I have ever read and the most believable in terms of being able to imagine it working for all three of them equally. The love between them was tangible and really well written by Sara, really honest and genuine and I was routing for them the whole way through. There were a couple of bits in it that I would have liked to have seen done differently.1. This is more general in all MMFs - Hunter states that Drake is the best he has ever had at a certain act (hot as hell in the dark and not surprising) but earlier in a similar situation, Isabel states that Drake is 'different' but the way she responds to Drake throughout she is definitely getting something from him that she needs and at times better than from Hunter - and I think that's ok, why can't she be allowed to say that Drake is better than her husband at times for her - I just wanted her to be more clear on how it was better for her too (she was my favourite - major girl crush)I get the bisexual/MM discovery, and it's so hot and emotional in this one and feels needed as Hunter and Drake work their relationship out. I liked that we got Isabel's POV when H&D were together for the first time fully - that's what made them all be together, even if they were not all physically together at that moment, it was important because of their dynamic as a trio and it was beautifully done and we got lots of other more detailed MM times!2. I found myself wanting more Isabel and Drake - they were hot!!Hunter and Drake ✅🔥⚔️ were covered really well and oftenDrake, Isabel & Hunter was epic 🔥🔥🔥Didn't get much Hunter & Isabel but they were so intune with each otherBUT Drake and Isabel's chemistry and emotional connection was fire! That relationship could have been explored much more to show them as a couple especially in the two months alone!! I think they would caved more than once 😉 There were more rules for Isabel and Drake than with Drake and Hunter - I get why, Isabel was amazing at helping Hunter with his sexuality but again - I was routing for her having as much fun and discovery with Drake!3. Slightly more fire and jealousy - I do think there would have been a little more at the beginning, regardless of sexuality.(I was also a little disappointed that they didn't invite Madame kink in for the epilogue! - that would have been super hot!! The babies were a buzz kill, nothing sexy about that! 😂😂 Joking aside though the epilogue was sweet (Drake and Hunter still horny together like boys!)The bonus scene showed how they were together 2 years later which was gorgeous and a perfect ending, three soulmates coming together - perfection.These are minor little points, this was a masterclass in a non toxic, poly, loving, sexy, equitable, friends MMF and utterly enjoyable.

Honestly, I’m not sure how to review this. I really enjoyed the first half of the book and their developing relationship as a trio and the spicy scenes were great. But then the red flags started waving all over the place and it increasingly started to leave a bitter taste in my mouth. Until I very nearly dnf at 70% read.I think my two biggest issues were:1. The way Isabel was treated within their relationship.She increasingly became sidelined and was essentially used as an excuse for Hunter to have the relationship he really wanted- with Drake. This culminated in the two men having sex without her, which to me came off as cheating. He could have easily told her when he went into their bedroom that it was going to happen so she could consent. He could have even suggested she watched, giving his consent to her actions.(I’ll address her actions in this scene in my next numbered point!)Especially as in the morning Hunter wasn’t even going to tell her about it, that made it even more cheating vibes.Then there was the comment at the end that the 2 men sneak around behind her back, just because, even when she’s pregnant! This cemented my thoughts and immediately not like the dynamic there.My other issue linked to this being they agreed early on her and Drake wouldn’t be together without Hunter, so why was it acceptable for the two guys to go there without her, without so much as a shoulder shrug at the betrayal? There needs to be boundaries set for all to stick to or adapt to, not just for some. It made Hunter come off as selfish.2. My other major concern is the way bisexuality was shown and how MM relationships were fetishised for the female gaze. It really didn’t sit well with me.The fact that there were characters who are bisexual was great, I’m all for representation in romance novels, but not if it’s purely for the ‘salacious’ entertainment of the reader. Having one of them who was a ‘scoundrel’ who wouldn’t be tied down because he would miss either male/female company if he committed to one person is such an awful stereotype of bisexuality. The idea that they’re all promiscuous purely because of their sexuality is completely wrong and made me uncomfortable at the implication.Then there was the MM scene, which had so many red flags flying there was a tornado. Not only was it cheating (already mentioned) but why was it necessary for it to be from her pov? I understand sort of that the author wanted her to be involved in the scene as a way for her consent but it came off as female gaze. If that had been a man doing that I would have called it as completely wrong, and so I’ll call this out too. Like I mentioned earlier, a simple conversation beforehand between Isabel and them would have solved the whole issue before it even started.I really enjoyed the previous 2 books in this series, and it’s a shame this one didn’t quite hit the spot for me. I’m not sure at the moment if I want to read the next. I’ll think on it.

If you are looking at this book hopefully you've already read Praise and Eyes On Me? If not go back immediately and start with Praise! All the books in this series are great, and while you can read them standalone you'd be doing yourself a favour by reading them all.Getting back to Give Me More... This focusses on Hunter and Isabel and what happens when they change and explore their relationship with their best friend Drake. We met these characters in the previous books and I'll admit they mostly flew under my radar. Hunter and Isabel were quiet and Drake was a perpetual ladies man and seemingly professional wind up merchant. But once Sara Cate puts you inside their heads and you get each of their POV's as their entire dynamic changes - it amazing! Sara Cate writes their perspectives so well, you will be completely engrossed in how they all grow together.As you might expect, discovering and exploring a polyamorous relationship comes with high highs, but also there will be lows. And this is where most of the plot is that drives the character growth. This is not a book with an external plot, nearly all the character development comes from internal emotional growth for each of the characters. And it's beautiful.And not to state the obvious here but it's an exploration of polyamory - Expect Spice. And if you've read Sara Cate before... expect more spice than you've ever seen her write before. I'm not joking - be prepared. But please know that the sheer volume of spice is in no way at the expense of the exploration of the characters. It's a balanced spicy romance books and it's well worth your time to read it.I received this book as an ARC (advanced reader copy) and I also bought a copy on release day because I love it so much.

Give Me More follows married couple Hunter and Isabel and Hunter's best friend Drake. What starts off as a bit of steamy fun between friends turns into much more.There was one element of the plot that although didn't surprise me because I should have expected it I went into reading it not expecting it 😂 But I was here for every single moment.🖤 Best Friends to Lovers🖤 Hot Wifing🖤 Voyeurism🖤Road Trip“𝑴𝒂𝒚𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒐 𝒔𝒂𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖’𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒊𝒕.

Sara Cate writes not only about kinks in this series but a strong emphasis to never be ashamed of it!Give Me More is definitely my favourite in the series so far however Mercy is due soon with a strong female lead🖤

This has to be the biggest rollercoaster of emotions I've ever read in a book,a journey of self doubt,self discovery and finding completeness.Every minute of every single day,it has been Hunter,Isabel and Drake... they've been through everything together,from the very first moment they met her.Hunter has had a life where he has had to fight every day to get through,to work on himself,to make himself better and worthy.Drake has had much the same but he has used his to his advantage...free rein on different women and also men thinking that he was truely happy.Isabel found Hunter when she was so much younger,and marrying him brought her complete happiness and contentment.One night changed the course of their whole dynamic,Hunter once again had to fight his feelings,fight for his self worth and fight for who he truely wanted to be...with the two people who were everything to him...the people who when it came down to it,were the reason for his existence.This book has made me feel everything,love,anger (in a good way) wow so many hot moments,but the biggest is the knowledge that even if it takes you a week,a year or ten years,if you want something that much,its worth fighting for.Once I started Give Me More,I didn't want to put it down until I read the words "the end"A million and one stars!
